Struggling with my Pentax k2000 I have gotten some decent shots at rather high ISO's, but recently borrowed one of the other parents D5000 (she received it as a gift, but only knows how to set it to AUTO).  I set the ISO to 800, shutter priority set at 1/200-250.  In looking at what I took, the majority were at 4.5, around 85mm and were much better than with my Pentax.  Out of the 100 or so that I took, the only noticeably dark or grainy ones were of the boys on the bench clear across the court at 200 mm or so at 5.6.  THAT is why I am researching the Nikon cameras!</p></blockquote><p></p>
